What is projectile

motion ?

the motion of an object projected into

the air, influenced only by the force of
gravity and air resistance (if present),
assuming no other forces are acting. In a
typical scenario, an object is launched at
an angle to the horizontal and follows a
curved path under the influence of gravity
Projectile motion

in y-axis:

01 02 03
use Because the
It’s in free acceleration is
ay=-g
fall constant we can use
ay=-9.8m/s2 UAM formulas
To solve a projectile

motion equation in

y-axis:

01 We need to know 3 variables

02 If we solved time in one axis we

can apply it to the other axis
because time is scaler and it’s
independent of direction.
time=t
Projectile motion

in x-axis:

01 It’s ax=0, there is no acceleration

the object’s moving at a constant

02 velocity, Therefore, you can use the
equation for the constant velocity
Vx=dx/t

you need to know two variables to

03
solve equations. (Vx, dx, dt)

The change in time is a

projectile motion problems. Vx=dx/t
Real life examples:

An object thrown into the air

with on initial velocity. It
followed a curved path due to
the force of gravity.
Two important points:
Initial velocity of object
Angle of curved path
